One day, all these cards started falling from the sky, like rain, or frogs. Together with my friends on an awesome Twilight forum, we created a FAR-OUT game, and for a while it seemed like harmless nonsensical fun. But on National Bakugan Day when the beasts within started slapfighting, we knew they weren't harmless.

My name's Dan. Together with my friends Runo, Marucho, Julie, not to mention (SHUN IS NOT APPEARING IN THIS EPISODE AND DOESN'T DESERVE TO BE MENTIONED -Editor), and Alice, we are...the Bakugan Battle Brawlers!

Bakugan! One goal, two worlds!

A, a-a, a-a, TWO worlds COL-LIDE! On the inside! Gone, gone, gone, this is Bakugan!

Episode Five

Runo SUCKS

Father Figure got a new car. This one was blue!

"Hey, honey! Guess what?"

His wife sat idly and numbly on the couch.

"That's right! We've got a new car, baby!"

No reply.

"I'll see what Dan thinks. DAN!!" he hollered upstairs.

"Sorry Dad too busy!"

He laughed. "Heh heh. Kids."

"Daniel," Chatroom Buddy Julie sighed, "it's SO nice that you two are back together again. Too bad it wasn't you and me~"

"You mean you want to be my battle partner?" Dan tilted his head.

"No, I WANNA GET MARRIED!!!!!11!!"

"Daah!" Dan backed away.

"I'm surprised myself." Runo crossed her arms. "After all, you're a jerk sometimes."

"I bet you don't know how to treat your Bakugan well at all! Have you heard Halo Tiger's screeches of agony!?"

"Like your Drago's screeches are any more tolerable."

"I must admit, she has a very good point - NO NOT THE CHIN NOOOOO-"

"Apologies concerning the changing of topic," Marucho said in a whiny voice, "but what of Mask the Money? He threatens us all with a diabolical plot to steal our marbles!"

"Yeah! It's not MY fault I lost to him!" Runo pouted.

"Actually, it is," Marucho corrected.

"Hey, Daniel!"

"Father Figure!?" Dan looked frazzled. He swiveled around in his swivel chair to face his smiling father.

He laughed. "I'm not upset! I just need you to go over to the BRAND NEW CAR I just bought. Wash it off, test it out, see if it's worth the million dollars I paid for it."

"WOAH. Sweet! I get to test it out?"

"Of course, son! Anything you like! Go on a joy ride. Just don't crash!" He wiggled his finger and grinned.

Gnarly...

"Lard chips, LARD chips, eat them up, yum, MINE!!" Dan swerved very dangerously around a sharp corner, sending the blue punch buggy on two wheels for a second. Ladies screamed and got out of the way. Horses whinnied. "Lard chips, LARD chips! VROOOOOM VROOOOOM VROOOOOM VROOOOOM-"

"Hey, Dan!"

"WAAAAAHH!!!" Daniel screamed like a little girl and made a fast, furious and DANGEROUS turn.

Suchi had climbed up over the back of the seat next to him! "Wanna battle!?"

"AAAAAH!! AAH, AAAAAH!!" Dan continued stupidly, making the punch buggy swerve left and right on interstate I-47.4.

Where there's a Suchi, there's an Akuma, and he nearly leaped out from behind Dan and grabbed the steering wheel! "You're driving like an idiot, idiot!" he screamed over the sirens and burning tires.

"AAAH! AAAH! AAAAAAHHHHH!!!" The car was headed straight for Cobblestone Park! They turned the buggy back and forth wildly, trying to avoid obstacles and people. They were about to hit the bench, which was STILL under construction!

"Slam the brakes! SLAM 'EM!!" Akuma demanded.

"WAAAAAUUUGGGHHHH!! DOOOOO IIIIIIIITTT!!" Suchi cried.

The car flew off of a hill and blocked out the sun for a second! "WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA -"

The car landed safely in front of the bench.

"- AAAAAaaaaahhhhh." The three boys looked at each other.

"Battle!?"

"NO." Dan got out of the car.

"No! Wait! We didn't come all this way just to go on an adventure!"

"While I'm here," Dan chimed, locking the car door, "might as well check things out around here!" Akuma and Suchi pounded their fists on the door, and muffled screams could be heard as Dan walked off, ignoring them.

In the opposite direction...

Some commotion was goin' on by the fountain. Two kids huddled unnervingly close to some blue-haired kid. "Wow," George gasped, "you've got ALL SIX types!" George Kins was a brown-haired guy with glasses. He had a pretty high-pitched voice, almost like Stupid-looking An's only his was kinda sorta masculine.

Ningen chuckled, holding a Bakucyllinder, which was a handy marble carrying case. "Yeah, I'm pretty proud of them myself." Some guy slapped the marbles away! "HEY! I just lost my marbles! Wha 'chu do dat fo?"

"Maybe because you're NERDS, ya little NERDS." A purple-haired guy was suddenly standing there, wearing a green vest and puffy orange-and-green pants. "Besides, you're too NERDY for THAT CRAP."

"Nerdy!?" George Kins stepped forward, fist clenched. "What IS nerdy but a label slapped on by childhood bullies to establish dominance!?"

"Yeah!" Leg yelled, still rockin' that Keroro Gunsou jersey. "Why don't you just BEAT IT!?"

"Make like an egg and..." Everyone stared at Ningen, who had been singing softly to himself. He looked around, frowned, and stopped.

"No, YOU twerps should beat it!"

"EEEE!!" They all ran away like little girls, except for Leg Armstrong, who stayed put.

"I'm an athlete. You don't scare ME."

"I play fencing."

"...EEEE!!" Leg, too, ran away.

"Yeah, that's right. Go be NERDY somewhere else, ya NERDS."

"Hey, kid," a deep, Mask the Money-ey voice moaned.

"Huh!?" He turned around and saw a certain man with a horrible fashion sense sitting on a flimsy tree branch. "What's with the costume, freak? Are you dressing up as a FREAK? Because if you are, you're just dressing up as yourself, ya FREAK!!"

"My name is - WHA!" The branch snapped in half, and he fell down into the bushes again. He got up, brushed some leaves off and continued, "My name is Mask the Money."

"That's nice. Who cares?"

"I DO."

"Wha!?" He stumbled backward, stunned at the force of his words. Nobody had countered his insults before! NOBODY!!

"Seems like you think you're quite the Bakugan brawler, huh?"

"N-no! I don't even LIKE Bakugan! It's for third-class nerds!"

".....So, are you ready to test your metal, Enma?"

He gasped. This freak knows my name...!

"I-I don't even KNOW what that expression means! Just have mercy!"

"No! Huah!" Mask the Money leaped into the air. He didn't go very far, and fell on his face. "Bakugan Field, Open!"

"Wait! I don't even PLAY Bakugan! I just told you, it's for NERDS like YOU!!"

"Too bad! Then you automatically lose!"

Enma sniffed. He'd never lost at ANYTHING since he was three! He always cheated his way out of everything! But right now he couldn't cheat his way through anything...because the battle had been so quick!

"And when it comes to Bakugan," he said with a big silly smile, "I'm deadly serious." He looked around, grabbed a few of the Bakugan scattered around, and ran away.

With Runo...

"Awwwwwwwww, you CAN'T be SERIOUS!"

In the town of Huaraz, Runo sat at a chair in a bar. Unfortunately, she wasn't even drinking wine. The place was nearly empty, and a jolly dirty blond-haired man scrubbed off the countertop singing, "Scrubadubdub! I love to rub!"

"Do I HAVE to work here, Dad? Why?" She said, in an annoying nasally tone, "WHYYYYY? I hate being a waitress. It's like the most BORING JOB in the UNIVERSE."

Her father replied in a high-pitched Italian voice, "Oh, come on-a, Runo! You know-a these are-a tough-a economic times-a! And besides-a, you're-a perfect for the job-a!"

"But they keep tapping my-"

"You'll-a get over that! It's-a just-a something EVERYONE has to-a go-a through-a in their life-a. And-a besides-a, it'll prepare ya for the real world-a! On-a television-a, people do that all the time-a!"

Runo sighed. "Yeah, whateverrr. But a girl can't get rich when the place is deserted."

"Hey-a! It's-a only empty 'cause it's not-a open yet-a! Honey, put up the open sign-a!"

"Got it!" Runo's mother gave a thumbs-up, not having any real discernible accent except for perhaps the Fat accent, because she was so FAT. She also had hair a few shades darker than Runo's. "But before I go do that, why don't you describe the scenery some more, Fabio!"

"Oh, yeah! There's-a pictures on the wall-a!" He pointed to one in particular of Runo as a baby. She had no nose. "That was-a before you had your nose-a surgery-a! Aren't-a you-a so cute-a?" Another picture was taken looking up Runo's skirt as she winked at the camera. Another had her posing in a business suit, not fully clothed. There was even a Runo doll, which was nearly naked.

"I KNOW what the scenery is, Dad!" She exhaled rather loudly. "And why did you put up pictures of me, anyway?"

"Ah, well, you know-a how bus-a-ness-a is-a nowadays-a. People won't come-a if-a they don't see a picture of a half-dressed girl-a!"

"But why does the half-dressed girl have to be ME!?!?"

"Stealing a picture off-a the magazines-a might get me sued-a! You know that-a good and well-a!"

"Hey, Runo," her fat mother said, "before the people start coming in, would you go to the Cross-Continental Railway?"

"Huh? Why?"

"Because I hear at the Cobblestone Park, they're having a special sale on half-dressed paintings of women! You know how your father loves that stuff!" She wiggled her finger!

"You know it-a!"

"So I get to not work here!?" She was elated!

"Yes, but if ya don't get back here by six you won't be getting your allowance~!" her fat mother sang.

"Okay! Seeya!" Runo ran away.

Later...

Runo sat quietly on the Cross-Continental Railway for approximately five minutes. She got on at Huaraz, Peru and got off at Your Town, Japan. She came to the Cobblestone Park, in which the southern section was having a sale. It was their monthly Buy Stuff at the Plaza event, and it paid for damages caused by idiots like Dan.

"I hate liver kabobs, liver kabobs..."

"Lard chips, LARD chips!"

"I hate liver kabobs, liver kabobs..."

"Lard chips, LARD chips!"

"I hate - AAAH!" Dan and Runo bumped into each other, but the collision couldn't be seen through the blinding flash that came with it.

"Runo...!" Dan said.

"Dan...!" Runo said.

"Why are we saying each other's names like this...?" Dan asked.

"I don't know...!" she replied.

"So...do ya live around here?"

"No, of course not! I live in Peru! Didn't you listen when I said that?"

"So you took the CCR. Heh, we finally meet!"

"Yeah, duh...after talking online for so long..."

"So.....yyyyyeeeaaaahhhhh. What now? My nose is runny. Don't take too long deciding!"

Runo stood up and held a marble painfully between her pointer and middle fingers. "Let's...have...a battle...!"

"Right now?"

"Nah. I'll meet you at...hmm...five o' clock back here, by the Sock Stand."

"Okay. See you then! Lard chips, LARD chips!" Dan skipped away. "Man, I should've taken the car. That'd be so SWEET!"

"He has a CAR!?" Runo looked down at her feet. "Hey! It's...Dan's...Bakupod...!" On the ground was what looked like a watch. In reality it was that thing that gave Bakugan stats whenever one played Bakugan. "He's...got...a message...!"

Onscreen, Mask the Money's dumb mug popped up! "Hey, Dan CRAP, it's Mask the Money here with a little message for you. Well, actually, it's a BIG message for you. Meet me at the river today, about three this afternoon. And come alone...if you know what builds strong bones. Oh, wait I mean good for you!" The message ended.

"I just hate that guy!" Runo's face enlarged at the sight of him. "Someone's got to stop him! Someone SMART! And Dan...isn't smart.

Bakugan Battle Brawlers will be right back! SHING!

And now, back to Bakugan Battle Brawlers! RAWR!

"Aw, man, I'm late for my afternoon meal! I've GOTTA be! It's -- NOTHING o' CLOCK!?!? WHAT'S THE WORLD COMING TO!?!? Oh, wait, I'm just missing my -- MISSING my BAKUPOD!?!? I've GOTTA go BACK and GET it!" He ran back to where he was before and looked around. "Aw, man, where'd it go?" He snapped his fingers. "MAYBE the floor was wet, and the Bakupod slipped into somebody's shoe! I've just gotta look for a square heel! ...Oh, wait, they might have walked away already. Maybe Runo has it, but...Runo's not here! That Tsundere!"

At Bridge Lake...

A guitar finished playing its tune as we cut to Runo again. She was standing on the rocky path below Lake Bridge, across from Enma.

"Who're you, ya FREAK!? I'm not here to battle YOU, ya FREAK!" Enma shouted.

Her mouth turned hilariously square-shaped as she said, "The name's Runo, and I'm-a gonna take you down! Darnit, I'm getting the accent now, too!"

"HA!! I'm not supposed to be fighting a LAMER like YOU, ya FREAK."

"Dan's the lamer."

Enma's mouth slowly opened and his eyes slowly widened.

"But who cares about Dan? You gonna battle or what, FREAK!?"

"N-n-nobody calls me a-a-a THAT'S IT!! Whether I become a nerd like you or not, I'm gonna battle you anyways...and WIN, because you're MORE of a nerd, you NERD!!"

Dan was looking over at the lake from atop Lake Bridge. "If only I'd brought some money with me. THEN I'd be able to buy some SOCKS! All I can do for now is look at the polluted waters and-" He looked down and saw Runo and Enma! "Omigosh! It's Runo! RUNO!!" He tripped on the railing as he jumped down.

"Bakugan Field, Open!" Dan got sucked into the void as he fell.

"Heh." Enma smirked. "It's only the two of us now. Now to tie you up and-"

"Runo!" Dan appeared behind her!

"WWWHHHHHAAAAAAAAAA!?!?" Enma backed away. "B-but you're the - and who am - w-who am I battling!? I'm so confused!"

"What're you doing here, Dan!?" Runo demanded an answer.

"Well, I was wondering if you had my Bakupod-"

"Is THIS it?" She held out his Bakupod as the Final Fantasy victory fanfare played in the background. Dan held his hands out in surprise, as if he'd been playing Peekaboo with someone's baby, and the music abruptly ended when he snatched the watch out of her hand. "HEY!! That was nice music!"

"Yeah, but I got a message."

"Hey, Dan CRAP, it's Mask the Money here with a little message for you. Well, actually, it's a BIG message for you. Meet me at the river today, about three this afternoon. And come alone...if you know what builds strong bones. Oh, wait, I mean good for you!" The message ended.

"Wait...if YOU'RE not Mask the Money, then..." He gasped. "I'M SUPPOSED TO BE FIGHTING RUNO!?!?"

"No, you dummy! I'M supposed to be fighting THIS guy Enma!"

"You are? Okay." He didn't question anything, not even why Runo noticed he had a new message.

"Gate Card, Set! Bleahh!" They threw their cards like frisbees.

"Doom Card, Set!" Enma set the infamous Doom card.

"Everything rides on you, Sugarnoid...Bakugan Stand!" Runo threw down Chaos Gamera Sugarnoid! All of the Gameras were also Sugarnoid, except for Wet One Gamera. He was the original. "So Dan, whaddaya think of my opening move?"

"Not bad, I GUESS, but I know from experience that the Sugarnoids pretty much suck."

"They don't have wrath?"

"Uh, well, they have THAT, but..."

"SHUT UP, YA LAMERS!! Bakugan Stand!" At first it looked like he'd summoned a spiraling foam football toy, but it turned out to be Rhino Demon again! He sounded like a hawk, though. "Ability Card, Activate! Let's Do Some Damage!" Some fire appeared under and did nothing to Chaos Gamera Sugarnoid. It spiraled around Rhino Demon.

"RHINO DEMON POWER LEVEL INCREASED TO 420 G'S."

Rhino Demon shot out supersonic flames, but they didn't do anything.

"Then it's my turn! Ability Card, Lightning Shield, Activate!" She threw a card. it turned into a shield around Sugarnoid.

"B-but I didn't even declare Bakugan Brawl yet!"

"You did now!"

"...Oops."

Rhino Demon spat out a supersonic pulse of flames again. It blew up on contact with the yellow energy shield, which didn't look at all like lightning. What a misnomer.

"RHINO DEMON'S POWER LEVEL DECREASED TO 330 G'S."

Rhino Demon proceeded to pick Sugarnoid up and toss him into Enma's mouth. The boy cackled as the Bakugan was sent to the underwor - I mean, the Doom Dimension.

FATALITY.

"Wow, Runo, you suck!" Dan smiled. "You don't even know what your own cards do!"

"YOU'LL PAY FOR SAYING THAT, DAN!!" Runo shook her fist. "But now is not the time for punching."

This is bad! I've lost five times in a row, and I'd better win or else I'll lose all my Bakugans! Or is it Bakugan? Ugh! That's one part of the rules we never got straight!

"Hey, Runo, are you okay?"

"Nyah!"

"Daah! You're turning into a nekogal! Or maybe just a neko! For some reason it's cool to call cat people cats! I NEVER UNDERSTOOD THAT!!"

"Bakugan Stand!" She summoned Rhinobot! Everything she had besides Halo Tiger was probably a palette swap.

"Hey, Runo, why don't you use Halo Tiger already?"

"Oh yeah I forgot about that one. Crap!"

"Hey, that's my last name!"

"GET ON WITH IT!! Gosh, you're all so LAME, you LAMERS! Bakugan Stand!" For some reason he had to throw out Rhino Demon a second time. What a tedious rule. "Ability Card, Activate! Fire Judge!" The card turned into fire, which spun around Rhino Demon. It made him catch on fire, which someone made him stronger.

"RHINO DEMON POWER LEVEL INCREASED TO 430 G'S. RHINOBOT DOESN'T DO A **** THING."

"But my Ability Card does! Windy City!" Some wind blew by, nulling the effect.

"ABILITY CARD NEUTRALIZED. RHINO DEMON POWER LEVEL DECREASED TO 330 G'S."

"Heh. Nice try, ya LAMERS!"

"He's wrong, Runo!"

"You mean it was a GREAT move!? Thanks, Dan-"

"No, I meant it was a horrible move. Girls SUCK at Bakugan! YOU suck at Bakugan! Hey, everyone! Runo SUCKS!!"

"Hey! It's not MY fault I suck so much!"

"Actually, it is."

"Grrrrr," was all she could say in response.

"Utilize me!" Halo Tiger spoke up, suddenly sitting on her head.

"No!" Runo said, mouth cat-like.

"Runo, you sound enthusiastic! DANGEROUSLY enthusiastic. Runo su-ucks! Runo su-ucks!" he taunted.

Even Enma joined in. "Runo su-ucks! Runo su-ucks!"

"I don't suck! Gate Card, Open!" The synthesizer from Reading Rainbow began to play as Rhinobot turned into wiggly lines. "Now his power level becomes that of my Halo Tiger!"

"RHINOBOT POWER INCREASE TO 340 G'S. THAT IS SERIOUSLY THE STRONGEST THING SHE HAS. WOW. RUNO SUCKS."

Rhino Demon swooped down on Rhinobot, but then he got punched by a massive but slow fist! He turned back into a marble and went away somewhere.

"I win!"

"Shut up. You didn't win the whole battle, there's still a tiebreaker. To make things dramatic there's ALWAYS a tiebreaker!"

"I'm just getting started!" She threw out another Gate Card.

"Really? Getting started two-thirds into the game? Wow, Runo SUCKS."

"You be quiet! It's a figure of speech."

"Rrrrrgh SHUT UP YA LAMERRRRRRRS!!"

"Bakugan Stand!" Runo threw her Rhinobot onto the field...AGAIN.

"Bakugan Stand!" He summoned - *gasp* - Panja the White Lion Demon!

"Where'd you get MY old Bakugan!?" Dan was stunned and appalled at the same time!

"Got it out of the Doom Dimension."

"Wait - ah - but - Drago said -"

"Yeah, well, Drago's a NERD."

"Uhh...well, so are you!"

"Uhh, well...YOU'RE A LAMER!!"

"I can't just stand here and take that! Runo, get revenge for me!"

"No! I'm getting my own revenge!"

Enma continued, "Ability Card, Activate! McAfee Firewall!" He threw out a common card. "Can't fight fire with fire, ya LAMERS! Because LAME stands for FIRE!!"

"Then since YOU use Pirates," Dan inquired, "are YOU a lamer?"

"Rrrgh I AM NOT A LAMERRRRRRRR!!!"

"Man he's good!" Dan stumbled backward.

"Virus, Activate!"

The synthesizer played again. As Panja pounced, time slowed and soon froze, the two glowing bright yellow.

"SENSING POWER LEVEL CHANGE. RHINOBOT POWER LEVEL INCREASED TO 360 G'S."

Rhinobot delivered a powerful uppercut and Panja apparently died again.

"So the match is over...I lost...hey, how come that LAME Game Over Yeah song isn't playing?"

"BECAUSE WE'RE PLAYING ANOTHER ROUND!!"

"Uhhhh...did Mask the Money say so?"

"Yeah!"

"Oh, okay. So that...WASN'T...a tiebreaker.....oh." He looked around. "Well, just go, ya LAMER."

"It's all up to you yet again, Rhinobot! Bakugan Stand!" The crowd sighed. Rhinobot AGAIN.

"Bakugan Stand!" He sent out Deerripper, Fearripper's seafaring cousin! "Now, rip her deer apart!"

"Meh! Feh!" Deerripper started slashing the light that just appeared in front of him!

"Hey! Stop that! You're a lamer, Deerripper, you know that, ya LAMER?"

"Shut up!" he whined. "She activated some sort of Ability Card, I guess!"

"We're supposed to be battling! You're a lamer, Runo! Just like the rest of 'em!"

"You're right!"

"...You think you're a lamer? HA!! I win."

"No. I'm not battling because I don't have to!"

"So that WAS a tiebreaker? Or what? I'm all confused now. GREAT, now you're even MORE of a lamer!"

"I'm tired of losing my Bakugan to you guys. It's supposed to be a game. You know, the type you play."

"Then why'd you accept the challenge? Hmph! Such a LAMER." He crossed his arms.

"It's supposed to be a game, right, Tiger?"

She sighed. "You puny human girls. Always rubbing stuff. Always growing facial hair. Always being abused~"

"Saywha?"

"Never mind that. Just utilize me!"

"No way! But I WILL throw you out onto the field!"

"HUNH!?!?"

"Bakugan Stand!" She summoned a white tiger with black-and-yellow armor! She was quite mechanical and tubby.

"WRAAAAAAAUGH!!" Halo Tiger roared.

"Let's brawl!!"

Deerripper looked pretty confident in himself, facing off against TWO guys. He danced around a little.

"Ready to KICK SOME ***!?" Halo Tiger screeched.

"READY FREDDY!!" Like a quarterback, Rhinobot charged forth and grabbed Deerripper by the shoulders. "Springboard, now!"

Wait, Dan thought, she had MORE than one Bakugan that could talk ALL ALONG!? What a shyguy.

Apparently by "springboard" he meant "attack", and Halo Tiger pounced, baring her shiny silver fangs!

"Ability Card, Activate! Crystal Thang!"

At Runo's command, Halo Tiger did a little dance, some sparks appeared, and Deerripper died.

"...What? No guns?" Dan looked surprised.

"What, you thought just because it's Halo Tiger that means it has guns? Save that for Master Chief!" Runo snapped.

"...But anyway, that was SWEET!! Nothing like the SUCKY SUCK we got from Runo the last two battles!"

"Does that mean I rule!?" She beamed.

"...No. Hey, everyone! Runo's MEDIOCRE!!"

"YOU LAMERRRRRRRRRRRRRS....."

GAME OVER YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

Dan and Runo, having completely forgotten Enma, laid down on an uncomfortably steep hill as wind made their hair wiggle in all possible directions.

"Well, you taught HIM a lesson."

"Yeah, well, I tried my best."

"Seriously? So you TRIED to SUCK at first?"

"Wha - I DON'T SUCK, DAN!!"

"Actually, I hate to be a rudy, but you DO kind of SUCK." Halo Tiger interrupted!

"You -- YOU --" She nearly crushed Halo Tiger in her hand!

"Ow! OWW!! Please! Stop it!"

Runo relaxed her grip. "Well, EVERYONE SUCKS a LITTLE."

Dan looked at her, then laughed. "H-hey, you're right! We do kind of suck when ya think about it!"

And they laughed and laughed and laughed...

"Hey, aren't you supposed to buy something?"

Runo looked at her Bakupod. "7:30!?!? But it's so li-"

"EWC!" Dan wiggled his finger.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

Later that night, at Dan's house...

"LARD CHIPS, LARD CHIPS!!" Dan drove dangerously back home, though he parallel-parked rather well. He opened the door, which had a broken window he didn't seem to notice, and waltzed in.

"Dan! Hope you had a long joy ride!" Father Figure greeted him, standing at the doorway for some reason. "Did you give it a good wash, Dan?"

"...I totally forgot about that!" Dan actually seemed to care! "Quick, get me a pitcher of water!"

Father Figure did so, and Dan ran outside with it. He literally threw the pitcher on top of it. He looked around, shrugged, thought it was clean and walked back inside.

"It's clean."

"Hm? You sure?"

"Yep. Positively."

"Hm. Well. I'll just have to give it a check..."

Father Figure peeked outside. In the moonlight the blue punch buggy was sparkling with cleanliness! "Huh! It really IS totally clean! Well, I..." He looked back at it. The blue paint was slowly sliding off, and the blue buggy was revealed to be...his old car is disguise! "WHAAAAAAA!? How did this-"

Suchi crawled out through the broken window. He was in there the whole time! "Hey, where's Dan? I wanna battle 'im!"

Suddenly, the car flipped onto the house, completely crushing his bedroom! With Suchi and Akuma in it!

Father Figure fell to his knees and cried, "MY DREAM CAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!"

Next Bakugan Battle Brawlers, me and Runo team up to take on some not-cool guys who think they're cool! Together with Runo, I learn some tips to never ever lose by using some non-counterable counterattacks and combos! Can it possibly end in failure? You'll find out! Trust me, it's not gonna be one-sided! Bakugan Brawl! *wipes nose* Seeya there! RAAAWR!

We leave our audience today with...the Bakugan dance.

Dooby da doo DEE dooby da doo DEE, dooby dooby doob DEE dooby dooby doob DEE, dooby da dooby doo dee!
